The issue I see with the suggestion, is how do you define the "local
network" as a default configuration. When you specify 127.0.0.1, the
matcher uses your local IP address, so unless the mail was sent from that
machine, it will get put in spam.
As for how RemoteAddrNotInNetwork works, first I'll apologize for not having
better documentation on the mailets and matchers. I've been meaning to do
this for quite some time (as well as include docs on the user repositories,
using a database, and writing your own mailets), but I've just been too busy
or trying to take some time away from the computer.
If anybody has the time, it would be tremendously helpful to document the
mailets and matchers. The code is pretty easy to read, and just knowing
what you can pass to them and the basics of what they do is very helpful.
RemoteAddrNotInNetwork (and RemoteAddrInNetwork) can take a comma delimited
list of IP addresses, e.g., "RemoteAddrNotInNetwork=127.0.0.1,10.0.0.1,
192.168.0.1". You can also make any of these addresses end with a *, e.g.,
"RemoteAddrNotInNetwork=127.0.0.1,10.*,192.168.0.*". Note that you can put
the wildcard at any octet level.
Hopefully this will allow you to get only the proper machines allowed to
send messages.
